i guess
its been some time
since i was last
melted by that grin
or found safe shore
by the lighthouse
behind those eyes

i suppose
its been some time
since boot clip-clopping
preceeded a hypnotic
sway of blue jeans
when seasonal hair
flowered in my life

in fact
its been some time
since a disappointed
island stay when i
scared her into a
freightened corner
then left her sad

i know
its been some time
since i said the
things i did, a few
imagined ravings
from a mad-dog mind
who couldn't let it be
